using http://www.xboxmediaplayer.de/cgi-bin....8;st=15 (http://www.xboxmediaplayer.de/cgi-bin/forums/ikonboard.pl?act=st;f=4;t=15178;st=15) i managed to setup streaming pplive using asfstream.

the problem is, that when i replay the recorded asfstream on the xbox, if i'm say within a minute of the pplive original stream it tends to only play a minute or so and then stop. so i need to restart it and then forward on to where i was, and again a similar thing happens within a few minute.

alternatively if i run the recorded asfstream on xbox about 3/4+ minutes behind the original pplive stream it can go on much longer - say today it went 30mins without cutting out.

now is this a problem to do with when it opens the file initially it reads it as e.g. a 6meg file and only plays that 6meg then stops unless it has time to "refresh" the reading which it does if i am 3/4 mins behind the original stream, but not if i am <1 min behind the original stream. if so can i change it so it updates more often?

else, if not this, does someone else know why it stops?

thanks for replies in advance!
